I was introduced at age 15 to the British 'Ensign Selfix camera' by a fellow school pupil and  saved all my Pocket Money for the deposit as it had a HUGE COST of nearly £24 ! It took 16 shots on both 120 and 620 film. It had an 'Epsilon Shutter' and I used flash bulbs with it.  In 1955 I joined the British Army ( RAMC) and in 1957 was sent to GERMANY , British Military Hospital BERLIN where I was a Path Lab Technician. I took some shots around the ruins in the British Sector using Agfa film. I have also got good results many years  later and won a big Trophy at my Camera Club for 'Lighthouse. Mull, Scotland' . I have a 12/20 and one taking 8 on 120 also and use them occasionally.

That lighthouse scene does draw one in.  Well done.
